When a custody or support order is issued by another state, it must be formally recognized in Georgia before it can be enforced or modified. This class teaches you how to register, enforce, and—when appropriate—modify foreign custody and support orders under the UCCJEA and UIFSA. We will cover: Registration & Enforcement Process • Drafting the Petition to Register and Enforce Foreign Judgment • Drafting the Affidavit in Support of Registration • Preparing the Notice of Registration for service on the opposing party • Drafting the Order to Appear for Enforcement Hearing • Emergency actions: Drafting an Order to Appear and Warrant to Take Custody of a Child Modifying Foreign Child Support Orders • When Georgia has jurisdiction to modify • Required filings and attorney’s fees requests Closing the Case • Drafting the Order Registering the Foreign Order By the end of this session, you’ll understand exactly how to take an out-of-state order and make it enforceable—or modifiable—inside a Georgia courtroom. Digital, editable versions of all forms used in this Class are included with your registration — actionable templates your team can implement immediately to streamline drafting, reduce errors, and reinforce what they’ve learned. _______________________________ Want to take it a step further?
